Ni hao (pronounced ‘nee how’) Rees Elementary! 

We had some special visitors come to our school on Tuesday all the way from China!  The acrobats have been performing across the country and made a special stop just for us.  They had some incredible talent to share.  We loved it!  Such amazing talent!  The acrobats had to be dedicated and work hard work to get as good as they have.  Mr. Pitcher reminded us that in order for us to be good at something, we need to work hard as well.

 

We want sunshine!

Where is the sunshine?!  The first grade and Mrs. Keisel’s 2nd Grade class took advantage of the warmer weather a few weeks ago and spent the last 30 minutes of the day out in the sunshine for Fun Friday.  Here’s to hoping it comes out for Spring Break!  

 

 

National Breakfast Week

March 14-17 was National Breakfast Week at Rees.  Our awesome lunch ladies had some fun activities going on for students.  Prizes were won and the guessing game of “How Many Cheerios Are in the Jar?” was played.  Thursday, which happened to be St. Patrick’s Day as well, was pajama day to remind students to “Wake up to breakfast!”

A Visit From The Rainforest Van

Submitted by angie.keisel on Thu, 03/24/2016 - 13:37

The Rainforest Van from the Living Planet Aquarium visited the 2nd grade classes on Monday.  Students reviewed the continents and oceans of the world while learning about the habitats of animals on each continent.  We were able to pet animals from the rainforest, learn about their diets, defense mechanisms, and more.
